8 mth post op, can someone give me some diet examples ?

Hi there, I'm 8 months post op and am down about 118 pounds, I'm not complaining how-ever reading the board, I've noticed that everyone that is post op 8 months or more, at this particular stage was eating around 1000-1200 calories, I myself am consuming about 1500-2000 calories, I must admit the weight lost has darn near come to a halt, maybe 4 pounds a month if that. I started at 5"10 and a weight of 303 pounds, and am now at 181 pounds, how-ever I still feel I need to loose about 25 more pounds. I wonder if the longer post op's could email me or post and let me know what you're eating in a day, or even in a week, an example diet that I can follow. I use fitday.com and am trying, how-ever I'm still doing a protien shake in the morning, that in it's self is almost 300 calories, (about 270 calories),Other then that I know I have to shake the peanuts as they are high in both calories and fat,Don't get me wrong, I'm not falling back into the same routine, I haven't touched anything fried in 8 months, no soda either, everything I consume is low fat or light. I count everything that goes in the mouth even if it's non fat instant creamer in my coffee, Please I could really use the help give me some insight on your wisdom.....
